Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Right on! I did this also and I was on pretty good medicine at the time. I told the doctors when I wanted to go home and they said fine. I can't imagine what kind of a hospital people are using if they feel they need a body guard to be with them. Everyone should check if they have time with trusted friends and family about what doctor or hospital to use. I have been in mine twice and was never afraid to be alone and thats the way it should be. Good health to all. ----- Original Message ----- From: " Cathie Shultz " <cathieshultz@...> <gallstones > Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 7:05 PM Subject: Re: Scary times > Hi Judith & Suzanne - > I just wanted to tell you what I did when I was in the hospital this year, > and thought it was so dumb of me to have never thought of it before! > One of the times I was in the hospital in June with pancreatitis, they > wouldn't increase my pain meds and said I had to wait for the dr to > see me the next day.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Cathie, I applaud your abiltity to out-think the system. I would have never thought of doing that but will certainly keep it in mind for next time. I have never been that clear headed and rational when in pain. Also I make sure I have a family member bring my make up to me in hospital. Slapping a little blush on and a big (fake is okay) smile and being very very agreeable has helped get me out of the hospital a couple of times.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Actually, not ALL cosmetics are - anyone who's interested in natural cosmetics should check out the line by Burt's Bees. You'll pretty much know what every ingredient is - no big, complex, chemical words since it's all natural. Here's the ingredients in their " Blushing Creme " : Sunflower oil, beeswax, coconut oil, candelilla wax, lanolin, cocoa seed butter, tocopheryl acetate & tocopherol (vitamin E), carnauba wax, castor oil, rosemary leaf oil. May contain: iron oxide, mica, carmine, titanium dioxide. You can buy them at most health/natural/vitamin stores, and even some regular pharmacies & supermarkets carry them now. Their site is www.burtsbees.com I don't have any financial interest in their company, I just like their products. I'm sure there's plenty of other companies that offer similar products.
